Looks like traders are moving to Bittrex for P&D. Polo getting less and less users.

I don't use any app. I'm just using Poloniex to check all my altcoin prices.

Don't want to install apps if not required.

BTC dropped below USD 2100. Hope to enter the market if the next dip is long and deep enough. See how......

Wait. They discontinued the trollbox leh....

Ok, I have completed a simple FAQ on cryptocurrency wallet in the front page. Do inform if any mistakes or anything to add. Thx.

Cryptocurrency wallet FAQs

For cryptocurrencies, there are many types of wallet:
1) Desktop wallet
2) Mobile wallet
3) Online wallet
4) Hardware wallet
5) Paper wallet

In general they all work on the same principle so I will be concentrating mainly on hardware wallet and I will use bitcoin as an example.

FAQs on hardware wallet:

1) It DOESN'T hold any bitcoins

2) It only holds the private key that enables one to manipulate the bitcoins on the blockchain.
- without the private key to the address that holds the bitcoin, there is no way anybody can touch the bitcoins on a particular address

3) You can lose the physical hardware wallet but you won't lose your coins if you have the recovery seed to the private key.
- If the wallet is lost or spoilt, you just have to get another hardware wallet, use the recovery seed to create back the private key, and you're good to go.
- Note : Hardware wallet usually comes with PIN number so it is usually ok even if your lost hardware is found by someone else

4) Recovery seed is the MOST important thing in your whole bitcoin setup.
- Remember that if you lose your hardware wallet, you can still recover your coins if you have the recovery seed
- Remember that what you are recovering is the PRIVATE KEY that enables you to manipulate the coins on a particular address. Your recovery seed is not recovering any coins.
- However, if you lose your hardware wallet and ALSO your recovery seed, you lose everything.


5) If someone got hold of your recovery seed, they can steal your coins from right under your nose even if you kept your hardware wallet in the bank vault!

6) You can use your hardware wallet on the most virus-infected malware-infested computer and you are still safe
- The good thing about hardware wallet is that the private key contained inside the hardware wallet cannot be extracted. No virus, trojan or malware can get access to the private keys.
- This is in contrast to online or desktop wallets as hackers can gain access to the files that stores your private keys.

I see. Cool, will try out later but I guess like you said, the information and trolling won't be like before.

Ok, will put in some examples later.

Not yet. With another 2-3 weeks to go, I will still wait and see what happens.... hands becoming very itchy though....

For new people, do understand where wengherng is coming from. No, I don't mean he comes from a rich family.

Some of us have an optimistic view that cryptocurrencies are still in its infancy and still have a long way to go. We hope that we are early investors and adopters (well, not as early as some) as many people still are not investing into this space yet. As such, such "deep" bear market is not too worrying and even a buying opportunity for some. Hence also the HODLing strategy.

In the long term, it is hoped that cryptocurrency prices will go higher that it has ever been. Many coins will fail but some might just be like bitcoin.

Do note that there are no certainties in those statements, just hoping for the best. Hope everybody makes money in the long run!

Nice nice! So are you buying in?

Still 2-3 weeks away so I'm still watching from the sides. Portfolio dropped 70% already....

Nope. Still a bit scared to go in. Will wait and see what happens.

I'm thinking the bottom will reach soon but what happens after that will depend on the outcome of bitcoin's war. Damn the hard-headed factions.

I see. Yeah, hands really itchy. Will wait a bit more and see how.....

You think so? If this is the bottom, then the outcome will determine future trend. I'm just thinking when I should enter. Before or just after the outcome. I don't mind catching the rise even if I'm not that early.

However, I think I will buy in this few days, just to keep some BTC (in hardware wallet). Ready to shoot when needed.

I see I see. Yeah, I think I will wait for another round of hammering before deciding.

ETH is definitely attractive but I stopped buying after USD 90+ as I needed to channel money to other altcoins.

Guys, a semi-famous guy in recommending EOS. He mentioned that it is a crypto to rival ETH. Have a look at it but no rush. The ICO is running for a full one year!

Yeah, that's why I have accumulated up to about 50+ types of cryptos. However, I recently sold off another two as I didn't see much potential in them (Nexium and POT). As I have to distribute my funds across so many coins, there's not much in each but if some can get 1000%+ gain, it is enough.

Sorry for the loss. Must always use 2FA.

Note : I will update the front page later on. Need to stress on the 2FA security feature.

Waawww! Nice bitcoin rally. Good for those who picked up at a discount.

Ledger nano S have limited internal memory. It can only fit a few wallet apps. For example, if you want to store stratis or XRP, you need to install the app into the ledger. As there are many apps, you would need more than one ledger if you hold many types of coins once a ledger memory is full.

Do note that the ledger can be full because of apps, not because you stored 1,000,000 ETH.

Ouch. That's the reason I don't trust any other wallets besides hardware wallet (and probably paper wallet which I find it inconvenient).

Hope hardware wallet can support more coins in the near future......

Wow! 2500!

Whoever bought btc around 1800-900 already earn 500-600 USD!

Probably buy on rumours and sell on news. Previous coins also went up before segwit and drop just before segwit activated.

Whatever it is, I'm just waiting for BTC to resume it's upward trend after this war which will lead to other altcoins following it.

Incredible! BTC at 2700+. Looks like segwit2x will go through? Currently at 89.5% : https://coin.dance/blocks

Yup, I still hold lots of BTC.... 0.5 BTC to be exact!

Altcoins are still not rallying ler......

I think altcoins will resume their march after BTC's war is over. I'm not really following the war but I think still another 1-2 weeks to go? Evil Bitmain with its hardfork plan is awfully quiet......

Sell at other exchanges lor....
